00:00Well here we continue in the Latin Grammys 2024 with the nominees Danny Ocean, Jerry D for song of the year

00:06Oh my god, I feel that this is so historical for the new generation of Venezuelan artists, tell us

00:12Oh yes, well, do you want to talk first?

00:14No, you go first, you go first

00:16No, I don't know, we feel very happy, I think I can speak for both in that sense

00:20I think that if we win this award, we would be the first Venezuelans in history to achieve it

00:26Which for me in our country at this moment would be wonderful

00:30Would it be the first time? Song of the year?

00:32Winning, winning, yes

00:34Wow, I wasn't aware of that

00:36I think I can verify that because I made a timeline of the last 25 years and I think Jerry is right

00:42No, if you say it, it's because you investigated it

00:44No, they told me, they already told me, they already told my teacher

00:46And yes, it would be incredible, really, because

00:48So we make a parenthesis so that in Venezuela we talk about music for a long time

00:52In fact, it is one of the favorites to win among the Billboard team, our predictions

00:57Yes, we are hoping that it will be the song of the year because it is very good

01:02I want to know a little about the creation of this song, how were the vibes with Elena Rose?

01:08I can tell you because we did it in her apartment

01:10Yes, Elena came up with this idea and that's how it was, Elena came up with the idea and you were with us that day

01:21And suddenly, it was very genuine, we started to put it together, you took like 20 minutes writing your verse

01:27And he himself launched, well I recorded you, do you remember that I recorded you?

01:30I recorded the voices

01:32And that's how it was, and it came out a couple of years after having done it, but the song has like a couple of years saved

01:39Obviously, Caracas in 2000 celebrates what it is to be Venezuelan, what is the favorite line or lyric of each one in that song?

01:48For me, a pigeon for all the Pacos who always send you to the right, you are mine, you are mine

01:54I was going to say exactly the same, I think it's our favorite

01:58Well, what happens is that the advertisers in Venezuela always treated us very badly before, they always passed us to the right

02:04They still treat us badly, they still treat us badly

02:06Yes, still, still, so I think that's the favorite phrase of the song for everyone

02:12Well guys, to finish, what are you working on each one, what can we expect for 2025?

02:17Well, I'm already working on my fourth album, I'm there, I'm starting, I'm putting together songs

02:25And yes, and I hope that next year there will be a tour in Latin America and also in Europe, let's see how it goes

02:30Yes, that's the plan, bring music to everyone, I hope you invite me to that tour, please

02:34And I invite you to mine too

02:36Ok, ok, ok

02:39Yes, no, make more music, I think it's time for the world to listen to what Venezuelans have to say now more than ever

02:46And that's the plan

02:48Well guys, a greeting to Billboard

02:50Thanks

02:51We love you, thanks for the love always

02:53Kisses Billboard, kisses
